FULL SCRIPT:
((At 17 ... Eddie Bocanegra killed a rival gang member. After 14 years
in prison ... he joined Ceasefire, the Chicago-based organization
dedicated to preventing shooting and killing -- mostly through the
power of words – delivered by people who used to be violent
themselves. He’s one of the “Interrupters,” featured in the
documentary of that name. His work with CeaseFire and his role in the
movie ... have opened doors:

“... what this person is saying.”

He’s a few months away from graduating with a social work degree from
Northeastern University. And then – he hopes – Harvard:

“It’s important ... contribute.”

Eddie Bocanegra ... a murderer ... who counsels mothers who’ve lost
children to violence ... and teaches art in the schools -- now hailed
as a hero ... at Chicago Ideas Week.

Charlie Meyerson, FM News.
